How im amazed at the amount of white knights who are defending ZeniMax douche bag attitude. Are you seriously that mentaly retarded that you accept anything the developers do? Its an obvious moneygrab, and if you dont see that then gj ZeniMax for brainwashing your disgusting brain with great success ! Its just shocking too see the developers getting away with this cause either kids or mentaly challanged adults will cough up the money for that shit. And no a mount is not the same thing as a race you dimwit. How would you feel if they locked Pandaren or Humans in Wow? Oh no sorry, you have to pay more to be able to play the race you played through all the other warcraft games, sry breh! So gj Zenimax, humanity is apprently that retarded that they will bend over for anything, and letting them destroy a good IP with pure bs, so all you fanbois, bend over and let Zenimax squeeze that big dick of theirs upp your ass a bit deeper.

I'm really friggin' tired of this "Welcome to beta!" bait bullshit. Everywhere it says "redeem the code, download client and start playing!". Where as in fact it's only for a shitty beta weekend.
I kinda expected this to begin with, but got my hopes up when there wasn't even a mention of it being weekend anywhere in the redeeming process.

Had my hopes up, downloaded the monsterous game with it's 50GB installed size, and got met with the beta weekend bullshit.

And to this, we of course have the issue with getting a special race for the collectors edition. I was planning on buying it to at least get lost in the leveling for a bit, but this will for sure be the first time I actually boycott a game.

ESO is pretty nice once you get some levels under your belt, it's really crappy just like wow the early levels tho - seems to be the general consensus anyway of those that tried it more than lvl 5. Except the nods to former games, exploration etc.

What sucks with ESO is Zenimax' and Bethesda's business practice. They are even worse than Blizz at draconean moneygrabs of late, and the beta structure is really tiresome as well - don't get me wrong, it's their game and they obviously have their way to test it, but there is no encouragement to do so with this structure. All this stuff just makes it so that to actually give this game a chance it'd have to be the best game in the universe to be worth the investment, and it doesn't sound like it.

I'm genuinely sad at seeing the potential squandered. I hope they can turn it around.

Its only for a weekend? That's lame. Considering it says its downloading 21,602.51 MB. That seems rather large...

Yeah it's a real shame for people with caps. There is absolutely no reason to download a beta for just a weekend if you have a cap. Thankfully I don't, so I downloaded it overnight while I was sleeping.

Actually if you want to blame someone blame curse.com for not stating it was for a weekend test only that's if they didn't because I know for a fact that if they (TESO) invite you themselves by email they clearly state that its for a WEEKEND test only. I've been invited twice now by email and it does say that.
